Yield Curve Crashes To 8-Year Lows, Financials Follow. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/08/2016 : The US
Treasury yield curve has plunged further today (2s10s -5bps at 107bps)
breaking to its flattest since January 2008. The curve has been flattening
since The Fed began to taper QE3 and as financials begin to catch down to that
ugly reality, one wonders just what The Fed can do about this...

Europe
Closes "On The Lows": Deutsche Bank Plunges 11% To 7 Year Lows. Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 02/08/2016 : BTFD? Deutsche Bank stock crashed over 11% today (the most
since July 2009) to its lowest since January 2009 record lows. We have
detailed at length why this is a major systemic problem and we wonder how
anyone can view this chart and not question their full faith in central
planners engineering of the 'recovery'. Nothing
is fixed and it's starting to become very obvious!

THREE
REASONS TO BE WORRIED ABOUT THE ECONOMY. by
Yonathan Amselem via The Mises
Institute, Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/08/2016 : he political class has completely disrupted
the American structure of production, made American workers uncompetitive,
snuffed the life out of entrepreneurs, and burdened the entire nation with a
debt obligation the size of Jupiter. The US economy is not the
strongest and most durable in the world — it is an unskilled
thirty-two-year-old waiter crashing at his parent’s place and trying to pay
down an $80,000 international relations degree.
…
EXTRACTS:
Despite our leader’s unwavering confidence in America’s
fortunes, a quick peak under the hood reveals a pretty grim state of American
commerce.
1. The Federal Reserve and US Government Have Warped
the American Economy
In just the past decade, the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet
has grown
from roughly $800 billion to over $4 trillion. .. Low interest rates stemming
from a growing money supply are the only reason the US government has managed
to service its gargantuan debt in recent years.
But public debt is far from the only distortion
artificially low rates have wrought. Mortgages, auto loans, credit
cards, and student loans have ballooned total consumer debt to $12 trillion,
and this number is only trending upward. The easy credit economy manufactured
by central bankers has obliterated American savings and replaced them with
debt. The average American consumer has less than $1,000 in his bank account. He lives praying
for no car trouble or a broken arm.
2. American Corporations Are Debt-ridden and
Unproductive
The post-recession bull market inspired a lot of confidence
in the American economy and Obama’s recovery, but this is akin to praising
great happy hour specials on the Titanic. Soaring stock market prices
are not a result of increased productivity or innovation — they are a symptom
of central bank fueled asset inflation and corporate debt. In fact, since 2008,
corporate debt has doubled. Almost 100 percent of all corporate issued
debt has been used to buy back stocks and prop up equity prices.
Our current money commissar,
Janet Yellen, recently “raised rates” from 0.25 percent to a paltry 0.5
percent. If this rounding error of a rate hike can send the market tumbling off
a cliff, what would happen if the fed raised the target rate back up to 6
percent like in 2000?
3. American Entrepreneurship is Dying and American
Workers Are Unproductive
Financial chicanery aside, we have to come to terms with the
fact that Americans themselves just aren’t built like they used to be.
President Obama’s administration constantly cites low unemployment as a sign
that our economy is back on track. To say unemployment numbers are massaged is
an understatement. Of course unemployment recovered since 2008,
President Obama was sworn in at the end of a market crash! But more
importantly, the American economy is not producing architects, engineers,
machinists, or other high value, goods-producing workers. We are pumping out an
army of waiters, social workers, and associate professors with worthless
six-figure degrees they have no hope of paying off in this life or the next.
American workers are not interested or encouraged to start businesses, learn
new skills, or innovate in some way. The typical American graduate firmly
believes he can turn a six-year sociology degree into a job that doesn’t
involve bringing people mimosas for brunch.
[CONCLUSION]
The political class has completely disrupted the American
structure of production, made American workers uncompetitive, snuffed the life
out of entrepreneurs, and burdened the entire nation with a debt obligation the
size of Jupiter. The US economy is not the strongest
and most durable in the world — it is an unskilled thirty-two-year-old waiter
crashing at his parent’s place and trying to pay down an $80,000 international
relations degree.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/08/2016 : DEBT - the other 4-letter
word...
Source: Conservative media www.Townhall.com
In case you missed it
late last week, President Obama blew
past another grim mile post on America's highway toward insolvency
and forced austerity, as the national debt surpassed $19 trillion -- a figure
larger than the size of US
GDP. The Daily Signal puts this towering number into
perspective:
On Monday the U.S. national debt hit a new record: $19,012,827,698,418.
This is the first time the national debt has ever exceeded $19 trillion. That’s more than $58,000 for each
person who lives in the U.S. today (including children). The main culprit
behind the rising deficits and debt is growing federal spending—especially
among Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare. Traditionally, Congress has set a limit for how much
debt the U.S. may take on, known simply as the debt limit. But rather than put
a higher limit on the debt, lawmakers and the president have repeatedly
suspended the debt limit, most recently in November of last year through March
15, 2017. During a debt limit
suspension, the Department of Treasury is authorized to borrow however much is
needed to pay all federal obligations that come due. This means there is basically no
limit on debt the U.S. may take on.

Either
Banks Are Cheap... Or The Market's Gonna Crash. Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 02/08/2016 : Simply put, either large cap Financials are cheap, or the
entire U.S. equity market is still overpriced. Their precipitous decline year
to date means markets fear they are both the transmission mechanism for a
global slowdown/recession to come and a primary victim of that event.

POLITICS
A 3RD CHOICE

Overwhelming
Majority of Americans Believe Both Parties Are Too Corrupt to Change Anything
... "This, In Fact, Is A Revolution". Submitted by George Washington on 02/08/2016
A group of
Republican and Democratic pollsters and political strategists
reviewed polling data last week, and revealed
these stunning
results:
- 84% of all Americans believe political leaders are more interested in protecting their power and privilege than doing what is right
- 81% percent believe the power of ordinary people to control our country is getting weaker every day as politicians of both parties fight to protect their own power and privilege
- 80% believe the federal government is its own special interest primarily looking out for itself
- 79% of all voters believe we need to recruit and support more candidates for office, at all levels of government, who are ordinary citizens, rather than professional politicians and lawyers
- 78% believe that the Democratic and Republican Parties are essentially useless in changing anything, because both political parties are too beholden to special interests to create any meaningful change
- 76% of Americans agree with the statement that America cannot succeed unless we take on and defeat the corruption and crony capitalism in our government
- 75% believe that the US government is NOT working for the people’s best interest
- 75% believe that powerful interests have used campaign and lobbying money to rig the system for themselves
- 74% see the biased and slanted coverage of the media as part of the problem
- 72% of Americans believe the U.S. has a two-track economy, where most Americans struggle every day, where good jobs are hard to find, and where huge corporations get all the rewards
- 72% believe that the reason families in our middle class have not seen their economic condition improve for decades and economic growth is stalled is because of corruption and crony capitalism in Washington
- 71% believe our government is not only dysfunctional, it is collapsing right before our eyes
- 70% believe the government in Washington does not govern with the consent of the people
- The majority – 56% – say they wish there were a third party with a chance of success to fight for their interests
- Only 15% say the “values and principals of my political party are so important that I strongly prefer to vote for the candidates of my party…”

Ron
Paul Slams Government Plan For "Mandatory Depresssion Screening" Of
All Americans. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/08/2016 : The United States Preventive Services Task Force
recently recommended mandatory depression screening for all Americans.
Government health care mandates undermine the basic principles of a free
society. If it is legitimate for government to tell us what types of health
care we must receive, then it is also legitimate for the government to tell us
what to eat, when to exercise, and even how to raise our children. To
paraphrase C.S. Lewis, a tyranny imposed for our own good is the worst
form of tyranny because it is a tyranny without limits.

FACT is that one more attempt to rig elections with the
apparatus supporting Hillary –the billionaires behind the super-pack, that
includes Wall Street managers, bankers & corrupt people, plus the control
of machines counting votes provided by Bill Gates, one of the donors of
Hillary- one more fraud and PEOPLE SUPPORTING SANDERS will demand to set
a PEOPLE FRONT as 3rd and independent choice in this elections. It is sure that even progressive leaders from the GOP will
join this PEOPLE FRONT to re-built America. I just came from meetings in
Chicago & Ohio and it has been decided so. Hillary can win only with fraud,
that include the pollters trying to change people’ vote. We decided not the
fall in such trap. If Sanders abandon the REV he promised - we don’t expect so-
we will continue.. but never vote Hillary. She
is the most dishonest servant of the billionaires.
